What on earth is going on with the Celtics. This was supposed to be a spot in the schedule where they piled up wins. Instead, they’re stacking up losses. They got down by 30 to the Pacers before making a furious comeback, and John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal gets into the big picture of what’s going on, what’s going wrong, and how to snap out of it.

It just seems like we have chemistry issues we got to get back on track
Its a home game and a 3 losing streak what happen to our Boston Celtics looks like they are not the same
I'm the ER psych clinician who previously mentioned whether or not the Celtics had a sports clinician on staff. The following podcast you bought up Rorschac tests regarding what they meant for, Tatum reaching the basket. I'm not sure if that was a response or coincidental, but, I have to ask you again. So you know if they do have one, do you think that if so it is a valuable solution? Asking again because, I was never responded to the first time around.
Brooklyn nets are gaining on us. Very quickly. We better step it up.
They are either going to blow out the Bucks or get humiliated, this team is so volatile at the moment
☘🏳
The effort and energy on this team to start the game was dreadful especially after losing 2 in a row to the Magic at home.
It's the NBA if you don't come out swinging, you lose
@Johnappreciated the thoughts as coming out the way they did after 2 home losses is mind boggling.
I have no words.
Funny a saw writing on wall suns game this teams ego is own worst enemy.
It’s the defense that’s not resulting in offense. Maybe the coach is not connecting with the team now. I’m just miffed by their play. Hope it gets fix. The bucks will destroy them.
haven't heard any criticism of our never call time out genius coach yet
Of course, we’re expecting it! We should expect them to play hard and with energy every game. Whatever happened to putting on the jersey to win? No, you’re not gonna win them all but you’re gonna win a lot more with high energy and determination. They are mentally weak.
These losses are good to have cause it’s still early in the season. These games have been learning experiences
These losses are also good because we have to learn how to play when we are trailing. We not gonna blow out every team and in the playoffs we are gonna play games where we are trailing. Hopefully they learn from these games
Lackadaisical coaching and a disconnect from the players.
turnovers, the bench is not helping,not closed rebounds and poor defense, all those things is the cause.
Good thing this humbled our reporters, fans and definitely players they will stop talking bout looking forward to the finals and use the regular szn to build to playing our best ball when the playoffs come. Karalis was one of them too talking about we are still the best team now to one of the best teams after a few losses. I’m not worried but I haven’t seen this team put away there bad habits when they start with them during a game especially since we faced the warriors, and Mazulla isn’t doing anything different and I like how he stays even keeled but to say we played gr8 after games like this and not choosing to call timeouts unless we let up a 20 sum run needs to stop, I get you’re tryna keep the guys confident but reality checks are needed wherever there’s a team involved. JB is in a slump which we are all sure we will end soon but Derrick white is timid and that’s a problem.
Need a Jae Crawford type to come in and make people accountable. Trade white and get Crawford and a younger energy guy or something. Just a thought. Can’t get worse without injuries. Can it!!! I’m also worried the coach is not the boss out there, he seams to be a buddy not the boss because the team is playing in quicksand. Their still young and need a kick in the ass. My two cents
Feels like quicksand- the more they struggle the worse it gets.
Rob Will and Tatum brought it in 2ns half. But too late
The Cs simply lack mental toughness. Until that is achieved, if ever under the interim coach, the Cs will be second tier in the east behind the bucks and the cavs. Let's face it, if the bucks would have been at full strength, the Cs last year would not have made it to the finals. We need to be real.
